Cecily Brown’s return to London marks a defining moment in this year’s cultural calendar.
Now on view at the Serpentine Gallery, Picture Making is her first major solo exhibition in a UK institution in over two decades. The exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, and monotypes that explore the physicality of paint, the tension between abstraction and figuration, and the enduring relevance of painting today.
Set within one of the most respected art galleries in London, this exhibition not only highlights Brown’s influence as a leading British artist but also reinforces London’s position as a global centre for contemporary art.
At Lougher, we take a closer look at the exhibition, the artist, and why this moment matters.
